Creating Timewarp Effects
You create a Timewarp effect by dragging the Timewarp effect icon from the Effect Palette.
You can also promote a traditional motion effect to a Timewarp effect. For more information, see
“Promoting a Traditional Motion Effect to Timewarp” on page 215.
To apply a Timewarp effect from the Effect Palette:
1. Create a sequence in the Record monitor.
For information about creating a sequence, see “Creating and Editing Sequences” in the
Help.
2. Enter Effect mode, for example, by clicking the Effect Mode button.
For more information, see “Entering Effect Mode” on page 39.
3. In the Effect Palette, click the Timewarp Effect category.
4. Click the Timewarp Effect icon, and drag it to the clip in the Timeline.
The Timewarp Effect icon appears in the Timeline.

If you apply the Timewarp effect as part of a nested effect, it must be the outermost effect.
Promoting a Traditional Motion Effect to Timewarp
You can promote a traditional motion effect to the Timewarp effect by using the Promote button
in the Motion Effect Editor. The Promote button appears in the Motion Effect Editor only when
you have the position indicator on a traditional motion effect in the Timeline.
You can also promote all traditional motion effects in a sequence to Timewarp effects with a
single operation. For more information, see “Updating and Reverting Existing Effects
in Sequences” on page 42.

Once you promote the effect, you might not be able to load or use the sequence in an older
version of an Avid editing application. Before promoting any effect, create a copy of the original
sequence.
To promote a traditional motion effect to a Timewarp effect:
1. Move the position indicator to the traditional motion effect in the Timeline.
2. Click the Effect Mode button or the Motion Effect button.
